  1. Imagine the mispronunciation magic we would witness if Chael had Joey Diaz on the show?

  2. Valentina vs Joanna fought in Muay Thai, not in Kickboxing
    A MT Championship is organized every year ( You are a champion for only one year and you have to fight every
    year again for the championship
    Valentina won in 2006, 2007 and 2008 against Joanna by unanimous decision, and then she moved from 57KG to 60 Kg division. This how Joanna became MT champion from 2008 to 2013 at 57 kg ( 125 lbs)
    Valentina was a MT champion in 2003, 04, 05, 06,07,08 (at 57kg(125lbs) and then
    2009, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 at (60 kg ( 130 lbs)
    I hope my comment was useful

  3. It was in amatures in a tournament Chael… And two of those were split decisions

  4. I was wondering if other people were gonna make fun of how he said that and he didn't miss a beat saying lol 😂

  5. They were tournaments in Europe I believe. I’m sure it’s common in the amateur wrestling world.

    Also Chael is 0-3 against Jeremy Horn in MMA.

  7. I heard two fights were at the beginning of tournaments and the 3rd was at the finals

  8. All 3 were tournament fights. They took place once per year and both fighters entered and fought. First two fights they found in the first fights. In the 3rd they both beat each opponent and met in the final.

  9. 1. You can pronounce their names, 2. They are Eastern European royalty in woman's kickboxing and had big crowds in poland
